Sudan Restores Internet Service for First Time Since Coup; Civilian Leaders Reject Talks with Junta
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, a court has ordered internet providers to restore service that
has been down since the October 25 military coup. This comes as Sudan's
main political coalition has rejected negotiations with the military
coup leaders. This is a spokesperson for the group Forces of Freedom and
Change, which formed in 2019 during the popular uprising that led to the
ouster of longtime President Omar al-Bashir. 

Alwathiq Elbereir: "Internet services are being cut in order to hide the
immense amount of legal and humanitarian violations taking place. … We
stress that we will not meet the military. Our position is unequivocally
clear: There will be no negotiations and no compromise with the
undertakers of the coup."
